Featured Application Guides

Microplate washers are designed to automate the liquid handling process of adding and removing reagents, including unbound sample matrix, in many typical assay workflows. Even with automated microplate washing, technique and instrument malfunctions can slow the process, or lead to less than desirable results.

Nucleic acids are the building blocks of life in all living things, from plants and animals to bacteria and viruses. In research, it's important to quantify RNA and DNA prior to downstream processes like sequencing, restriction enzyme digestions and ligations, PCR and qPCR along with many other applications. Along with determining nucleic acid concentrations, it's also important to calculate the ratio of nucleic acid to protein to ascertain purity before using the sample in downstream applications.
